What keeps us going?

Dance

The primary reason we exist is to bring people together in the passion, fun and excitement that is Polish Folk Dancing! We welcome people of all ages and abilities, with our youngest members starting from just 7 years old, and many people still dancing several decades on.

Music & Song

Marylo Kolendo, our Musical Director, is the talent and creativity behind our music. Passionate and knowledgable, Maryla will source original scores, and transpose pieces by hand for the 7-piece band and choir.

Costumes

With each dance coming from a different region, we do our best to uphold the correct traditional dress, embracing their colours and vibrancy.

Leading the way in keeping our costumes in order is Wisia Saller, who leads an army of group members, friends and family, who volunteer to embroider, sew and who have made most of our 1000s of costumes and props.

We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once.

— Friedrich Nietzsche
